Test Shots: Slow Mo with the Go Pro

After completing some test shots with the attachable camera and tint screens, we realized that we wanted to explore more advanced techniques and effects in preparation for our music video as we didn't initially think of them, and we want to improve the standard of our final project. 

 Here, we have experimented with the Go Pro camera by creating slow motion shots, we have done this by setting the Go Pro to 100 frames per second and 720p. After shooting, we went onto Adobe Premiere Pro to slow down the shots. 

We feel that this experimentation went well as we were able to achieve some really interesting effects by mixing the slow motion with the normal footage. Although we haven't originally planned to incorporate this into our music video, we feel that the slow motion technique could help to add effect and emphasis as less typical shots and effects are conventional for the indie genre. Also, as we feature a lot of tracking shots of the artist walking, sometimes focusing on the feet, and the slow motion effect could help to add effect and match the tone/pace of the music. Additionally, this effect could add atmosphere for the video which will show the audience that the artist is exploring the different settings, and emphasis the background/costume/etc.
